Luanda - Russian President Dmitry Medvedev is spending only a few hours in Angola, but has a lot on his agenda in the oil- and diamond-rich southern African country that has long had close ties to Moscow.

Medvedev, ending an African tour that has underlined Russia's economic interests on the continent, is expected to go into talks with President Jose Eduardo Dos Santos soon after arriving from Namibia on Friday.

The official Angolan news agency has stressed the importance of three accords Medvedev and dos Santos are to sign. One is on co-operation between Angola's state oil company Sonangol and Russia's Lukoil. Another is between Sonangol and the Russian gas company Gazprom. The third is between Angolan diamond company Endiama and Russia's Alrosa diamond monopoly.
